    Macs are more expensive, $40K for this one

    My Apple Mac mouse has thermal sensors for the right click and squeeze click too. The Apple OS (9 and X, X.1, X.2, X.3 , X.4, X.5 ) has always had two button mouse support. Just shipped with the Steve Jobs preferred one button mouse. The new mouses can be configured as one or two button mouse.

    GM 2.2 cartridge filter

    I use a cheap 32 from walmart that while it won't unscrew completely will go several turns and then it is easy to take off by hand. Just screw in a couple turns and then put it back on and tighten. EASY!!! Standard 32mm will do in a pinch (not deep well)

    Kumho KH16/BFG Traction TA?

    Kumho KH16/BFG Traction TA?

    The Kuhmo is a replacement for the HP4 they still have available. The first set of these I got to put on were fairly egg shaped and was not impressed. The HP4 seemed better. Could just have been an Odd Set. Actually sent 2 tires back as defective. The Traction TA is available in H, T or Spec...

    Quaker State

    Noticed the bottle says "Not for sale in Mexico" So what do you do, go look at Mexico's website for QS and they have SM GF-4 GreenTech (protects the Cat) Motor Oil with Tri-Molynano T..... Cool sounding name and good looking bottles though! Reduces friction 40% over other oils..... Hmmmm...

    Every oil is good, don't ask anymore...

    Bad oil??? Yup anything less than synthetic in your modern era Corvette. SA and SB would meet the requirements of an old VW but not recommended anymore.

    I Have Found This Wonderful Forum! Oil Advice

    Ford went to 5K/6M oil changes as a normal oil change (very limited severe) and that was close to ideal. I have personally seen a couple motors near 200K miles (needed valve stem seals, 8 and 10 cylinder versions) opened up and the crosshatch on the cylinder walls are perfectly visible. Once the...

    Oil cleaner

    Got really dirty oil and want it to be clean looking when your done... Get engine to operating temp. Change oil (use the cheap stuff if you want). Run for 30 minutes and change again. That seems to get most cars pretty good. Helps flush that last quart or so out of the engine and allows for...

    Building up a tool set.

    Proto tools are by Stanley (Who makes MAC Tools) so if price competitive by all means you have made a wise choice. Better than Taiwan stuff. US Made Craftsman tools are OK but not great. I like MAC and Snap-On. Some Matco stuff is great too but most of the hand tools I am partial to the others...

    Synthetic Automatic Trans Fluid - is it worth it?

    Originally Posted By: Donald Amsoil ATF is excellent ATF, not exactly cheap, but worth it. There will be people who say one ATF cannot possibly be spec'ed for so many different ATFs and vehicles, but I am not one of those people. Why not the majors are doing it now too. Friend had his mini...

    Vehicles that give better mileage w/ auto trans

    On our Suzuki's at work only complaints so far are the Auto's not living up to the milage where the Manual drivers are very happy with theirs. What is bad is we drive them to verify bad milage and easily get very close to or better than indicated milage if you keep your foot off the floor...

    How Do You Feel About Electric Power Steering?

    Ford started using them on the Escape and finally found a bad one (New car) and several were driving with them and never noticed anything and never knew until I replaced one.... No others had problems that I saw. Must be pretty good.
